Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Ives UK

edit

Hello Fluffyghost,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Bob Ives UK for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Mike1901 (talk) 12:10, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

To editor Fluffyghost: Assuming for the moment that Bob Ives UK is sufficiently notable for an article (and there appears to be some question of that), it does not follow that his relations are automatically notable enough for their own articles. The page Joe Ives does not state why its subject is significant, outside his relationship to Bob Ives, and it does not contain a single reference. All articles on living people must contain reliable, independent sources which cover the subject in some depth, establish their notability, and can be used to verify all statements about the subject.

To editor Swpb: It's currently under construction. I have now put enough content and links for this article to allowed development room. user:fluffyghost
Bear in mind that I still do have (much more minor) doubts about the notability - if a more experienced editor has a strong view, they could probably push a deletion proposal through in my view (although I think there's enough there to avoid it being speedily deleted now) Mike1901 (talk) 15:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
To editor Mike1901: If there's anything else I need to reference to avoid deletion please just let me know. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, you've been very helpful :) user:fluffyghost

Bob Ives (racing driver)

edit

Please don't move this article to the title you've suggested. "Off Road Specialist" is overly-specific, non-NPOV, and improperly capitalized. The current title is fine. Swpbtalk 13:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

To editor Swpb:I need the page title to be "Off Road Specialist" as that's his occupation, his not a racing driver per se, his done racing tournaments but his legacy is off road driving. Please can you help me change the page title name as I am not currently sure on how to do this. Thanks . user:fluffyghost

File permission problem with File:Duncan Barbour.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Duncan Barbour.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:32, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Bob Ives (racing driver) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Bob Ives (Off Road Specialist). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Duncan Barbour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Geographic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Bob Ives (racing driver). This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 15:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
